Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout , leukemia or lymphoma. Over a period of months an adult male patient has taken even blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x =5.30mh/dL. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with standard deviation =1.95mg/dL. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patients blood What is margin of error? Lower limit? Upper limit? And margin of error?
High density lipoprotein (HDL) in healthy males follows a normal distribution with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 8. What proportion of healthy males has HDL exceeding 60?
The mean life expectancy in the US pop. is currently 81.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.9. A researcher examined the age of death of 70 people in Florida hospitals and the mean was 85.2 yrs. He runs a 2tailed test with a=.05 to see if FL has significantly different life expectancy to the overall US pop. Calculate the standard error, z statistic and critical z values from this information.
A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level, u, of a healthy adult is 143 mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of 50 adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is 140 mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 10 mEq. Can we conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that claimed by the laboratory? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
A trial study suggest that the standard deviation for the half life for the drug chlordiazepoxide is 8 hours. With 99% confidence, find the sample size needed to determine the mean half life for the drug with a margin of error of 3 hours.
Data from a government agency showed that the mean performance rating of employees is 87% with a standard deviation of 10%. Samples of 50 employees’ record were found to have a mean performance of 83. Based on this data, can we say that the mean performance of those employees were below the average at 0.05 level of significance?
The distribution of average wait times in drive-through restaurant lines in one town was approximately normal with mean �=185μ=185mu, equals, 185 seconds and standard deviation �=11σ=11sigma, equals, 11 seconds. A journalist wrote an article about the restaurants whose average drive-through wait times were in the top 25%25%25, percent for that town. What is the minimum average wait time for restaurants that the journalist included in the article?
According to a recent poll, 28% of adults in a certain area have high levels of cholesterol. They report that such elevated levels "could be financially devastating to the regions healthcare system" and are a major concern to health insurance providers. According to recent studies, cholesterol levels in healthy adults from the area average about 207 mg/dL, with a standard deviation of about 20 mg/dL, and are roughly Normally distributed. Assume that the standard deviation of the recent studies is accurate enough to be used as the population standard deviation. If the cholesterol levels of a sample of 44 healthy adults from the region is taken, answer parts a through d. a) What shape will the sampling distribution of the mean have? A. The sampling distribution of the mean is skewed right. B. The sampling distribution of the mean is normal. C. The sampling distribution of the mean is skewed left. D. There is not enough information to determine the shape of the sampling distribution. b)…
A psychologist is studying smokers' self-images, which she measures by the self-image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 150. The psychologist gathers a random sample of 16 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 130 and their standard deviation is 31. Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ. Based on the sample, can the psychologist conclude that μ is different from 150? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table attached. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
